What??

Don't you touch Eomer. Faramir may be me, but Eomer is much, much better than me...he's Gawain, he's young Beowulf, he's a berserker! Nobody is going to throw him out on my watch. "Ride to ruin and the world's ending!" Besides, with Celeborn gone Galadriel has shown her true feelings towards him, and the duels between him and Gimli are hilarious to watch...

I will throw myself behind the Boromir campaign. Face it, chaps, Boromir is basically a big, bluff, sporty lout. The only thing that makes him interesting is his exposure to the Ring, causing lots of cool moral ambiguity, and his above average Orc-hacking skills; but the Ringbearers are all gone and there's only one Orc left on the island. Now he'll just stand around kicking a football or repeating hackneyed repuplican cant copied from his father. No, better to let him go home.

++BOROMIR

Folwren says "Eomer was not wronged in the movie; Faramir had his character stolen from him."

Faramir was a bit odd in one scene, and his motives were explained in the Extended Edition. Eomer was practically cut from the films, and lost all his best lines and moments in the awful rejigging of the Pelennor Fields...
